The Powerball Jackpot is up to $650 million. Even with the odds being 1 in 292 million of winning, a person can dream.
What would you do with all that money? That would have been a great library round table question to ask our patrons. My family members tend to have a difficult time deciding what to spend $25 on from gift card, much less $650 million!
It’s difficult to even fathom what you could do with that amount of money, but I think I would start out with new carpet for my family room as we’ve had it far past its life expectancy. I’d like a new dishwasher. It failed me about a year ago. The “check-engine” light on my vehicle has been on for quite a while, but my mechanic son and husband said a piece of electrical tape placed over it would suffice.
People hit the lottery all the time. Seeing the eclipse was a win. A perfect job, a great marriage, children that are healthy and doing well are pretty big wins. How about those even smaller lottery wins like finding a much wanted item on sale, seeing an old friend in unexpected places, finding money at the bottom of the washing machine, winning Bingo at a church bazaar, finding pretty feathers with a grandchild? Must I go on with my recent lottery winnings?
How about finding a good book and reading that happy surprise ending?
Feeling bad about not winning the $650 million? Don’t, because for some reason the lottery keeps giving my money to someone else!
Come on into the library a pick a sure winner.
Happy Reading!
